The rich got richer on day 3 of the 2021 iQFoil International Games Garda, with both Lucie Belbeoch and Nicolas Goyard extending their respective fleet leads.
Plenty of course racing for both fleets, and Lucie Belbeoch extended her lead with four more wins from five races, now ten points clear of Britain’s Islay Watson who recovered in the later races with a 3,2,2 to stay in touch.
Britain’s Emily Hall picked up the penultimate race win and moved up nine places to finish the day in 17th overall.
Delphine Cousin sailed well to remain in third place, eight points off Watson and just two points ahead of a fast improving Lola Sorin.
The men’s fleet leader, Nicolas Goyard stretched his lead to 20 points, but faces new challengers to his title bid.
Holland’s Huig Jan Tak stormed into second place, just two points ahead of defending champion Sebastian Koerdel who took two races wins as he moved onto the podium.
Matt Barton of Britain was able to discard a couple of high scores, and moved up to seventh overall.
The plan Friday is for a morning session with the third format of iQFOiL Class, the Marathon. Six miles upwind and six miles downwind of pure speed on the Olympic foiling boards.
